I chose the bottlenose dolphin because they are smart, friendly, and fun to watch.
Bottlenose dolphins can be 4 metres in length when fully grown. They may live 40 – 50 years.
The east coast of Scotland has a resident population of around 224 bottlenose dolphins.
Changes in the marine environment such as organic pollutants, underwater noise or collision with vessels can impact dolphins.
